Symposium Biographies

Matteo Cavalleri

Matteo studied Chemistry at the University of Milan (Italy) and
University of Valencia (Spain) before obtaining his Ph.D. in the Quantum
Chemistry group of the Physics Department at Stockholm University
(Sweden) with a thesis entitled "Local Structure of Hydrogen Bonded
Liquids". After a 3 years’ PostDoc experience at the Theory Department
of the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin (Germany), he joined Wiley in
August 2008 as an Editor of physica status solidi. After an experience
as Associate Editor of the Journal of Polymer Science Part B: Polymer
Physics he moved on to become the Editor-in-Chief of Int. Journal of
Quantum Chemistry in October 2011.

Jaime Farrington

Jaime Farrington is the Technology Development Scientist at Sydor
Instruments LLC, working on the commercialization of novel technologies
for the particle accelerator and synchrotron radiation communities. He
serves as Sydor’s scientific liaison, coordinating technology transfer,
development and beta testing. Jaime earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the
Graduate Center of CUNY in 2010. He has worked in different research
areas, in addition to areas outside research such as graduate program
recruitment and in the film industry as a consultant. These diverse
experiences made him realize that there are many nontraditional
opportunities for scientists where valuable skills can be transferred
and that there is much to gain when working outside our comfort zone.

Suzanne Golisz

Suzanne is a Research Chemist at Chevron in Richmond, CA. She
provides chemical expertise to six North American refineries with
respect to the quality of gasoline. Her other responsibilities include
evaluating naphtha-range biofuels, consulting on emerging refinery
processes and advising the supply and trading business unit. Prior to
joining Chevron, Suzanne was a Research Associate at Brookhaven National
Lab where she investigated carbon dioxide reduction. Suzanne has a B.S.
from the University of Rochester and a Ph.D. in Organometallic Chemistry
from the California Institute of Technology. Outside of chemistry,
Suzanne competes in triathlons and plays the violin in a community
orchestra.

Yue Hao

Dr. Yue Hao received his Ph.D from Indiana University at Bloomington.
He then joined BNL and focused his study towards the future electron ion
collider eRHIC. He works on various beam dynamics issues and related
numerical algorithm. From 2010, he became adjunct professor of
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Stony Brook University.

Deborah Keszenman

Dr. Keszenman studied Medicine at the Medical School of the
Universidad de la Republica (UdelaR) in Montevideo, Uruguay. After
earning the MD degree, Dr. Keszenman obtained a Master of Science and a
PhD in Biophysics from the UdelaR-PEDECIBA in Uruguay. Before joining
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Dr Keszenman worked at the School of
Medicine and Faculty of Sciences as a Professor of Biophysics, as a
research member of PEDECIBA, and as a General Physician in Clinical
Practice in Uruguay. Her research in Radiation Biology includes
radiation induced DNA damage and repair. Dr. Keszenman started at BNL as
a Postdoctoral Research Associate and at present, she is a Biologist
Associate in the Biosciences Department, and a Beam Line Scientist of
the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory.
